    Sidenote: Westbrook missed more shots than Dame took.

    I look at a team I don't think should be getting wasted like this. The talent disparity isn't big between these two teams.

    Harden is a pretty darn gifted player. Is he the best in the league? Probably not but he was pretty much unstoppable tonight. Love to have him playing for the Blazers.

    If the choice is between wasting a season of Dame's prime being cannon fodder for the Clippers/Lakers (you know we're not getting any calls in that playoff series), being in the late Lottery, or having a decent chance of being in the Top-3, and a solid chance of getting an impact piece either from the player or from being used in a trade, that seems like a no-brainer.

    That’s what I’m saying. I know we have injuries but they are not worth being 4,5 games under .500.. zach Collins is not that damn special

    Hoods usage rate is absurdly low for his efficiency. It’s 14% which is the lowest of his career, but his TS is 66%, by far the highest of his career. He’s basically slotted into all the shots Harkless took last year as the outlet guy. That’s fine, but it seems like they don’t really run any plays for him, which they probably should consider doing even if it will hurt his efficiency. Help take some of the load off CJ and Dame.

    Who am I kidding, they aren’t gonna run anything for him.

    Oh we’ll get our lottery pick this year for sure. What I’m willing to do is try running it back one more time next year fully healthy and see what happens. If that doesn’t work dame will be 31 in 2021 I say trade him and Cj and build around Simons. Dame deserves a winning situation..

    it is not a notion, it is reality, this team with its injuries sucks, add poor roster construction and it sucks

    Thats what he’s known for all his career. He’s on and off like that. It’s his M.O. and why he’s been traded a few times. He’s a perfect 4th option tho and I think fully healthy he’s a good fit here

    This team is going to go on a run. We'll make the playoffs and get to at least the 2nd round. At the end of the season, we'll look like a very different team (not personnel, but play).

    Unlikely. We won’t be healthy until March and by then it will be too late.

    There some positive notes we had 28 assist and 5 players over 10 shots and no one over 19. That show me distribute of the ball was balance and some might be them getting ball out Dame. But Dame had 11 assist. But this guy's need start making more though. Defensely there really know excuse being that bad.
